Sorry to keep hounding you, but I discovered another bug.  For my particular
crontab file, when I do "crontab file" and then do "crontab -l", there is
junk at the end of the file -- sorta like something is not being
null-terminated.
Also, for some reason, my crontab is not getting run at all.  I don't know if
this junk at the end of the file has anything to do with it.  Interestingly,
it is successfully running root's jobs.
I really want this to work because it would be fantastic to have cron jobs
which were not run due to the computer being down or crashing run later.
Thanks.
